Super class Student should have the following data members: name, ID,
Grade, age, and address.

between 0 and 100) and check whether the grade has passed the requirement
for passing a course. In the Student class this method should be empty as an
abstract method. The two subclasses: Grad and Undergrad, will inherit all
data members of the Student class and override the method is Passed. For
the Under Grad class, if the grade is above 70.0, then is Passed returns true,
otherwise it returns false. For the Grad class, if the grade is above 80.0, then
Is Passed returns true, otherwise returns false.
